From a normal school of teachers in 1891 to joining the University of North Carolina system in 1971, ECSU is a place where the smartest minds from all over the country come together to discover, learn and cultivate the foundations of their future.

In ECSU's ten academic departments, we are educating some of the world's most brilliant minds. Our students are exposed to innovative research opportunities that extend their learning beyond textbooks and classrooms.

Life at ECSU provides a range of experiences that are invaluable to your academic and personal growth. Our students come from different places and backgrounds, but together they create a diverse, close-knit community that seeks to create a better world.

Tuition and Fees

Book Rental [“IncludED”] Fee - (Optional)

Although this fee is optional, it is usually more cost effective to use the book rental
system than to purchase textbooks.

Book Rental Instructions

Textbooks can be shipped to students for $7.50, paid via credit card over the phone.
Students are responsible for returning textbooks by the due date.

The store will operate on a summer schedule with reduced hours.

All special students (those who are grant funded or not technically enrolled at ECSU)
will not receive “IncludED” Rental services and need to either purchase the textbooks
or contact the book store to make other arrangements.
